5. Brandy D.
“Brandy is truly amazing and was wonderful with my dogs from their very first interaction. I trust her in my home and with my two dogs. One of my dogs has some behavioral issues that can cause him to be aggressive with other dogs. Brandy is well equipped to handle dogs who aren’t the easiest to walk and who others might shy away from.”

About: Well, I may not be the worlds best, but I sure try to be! Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to give their pets the care and love they deserve for years. I’m currently staying close to home to take care of my mother, so your pet will never be left alone. I will have time to walk or check up on your pets however often is needed as well. I like to make sure that your pet has a happy and safe time in my car. I pay great attention to detail in my care for animals and can follow any additional instructions. I have also had several different kinds of pets myself, so I have a wide experience with all kinds of pets.

12. Loren M.
About: I've lived with multiple dogs all my life, they're my favorite animal. For the past 4 years, I have been fostering German Shepherds, in addition to taking care of my own family dogs. Also, I walk my neighbor's dogs during the day and watch them when the neighbors go out of town. I'm a super attentive, caring pet sitter. I work from home, so I'm available all day to take care of the pet's needs. The pet would only be alone for a few hours a day. I have a fenced yard but would take the dogs for a walk to do their business. Basic care would be provided, as well as, loving attention.
13. Cynthia & Danny C.
About: I’m a pet loving individual here to help and protect your fur babies in your absence. My name is Cynthia and I currently have two cats, one beagle/hound dog, one hermit crab and a beta fish. I am patient, flexible, caring and have dog and cat training experience, since I grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds. I’m flexible with whatever the needs are of your animal and will treat your dog/cat like our own plus accommodate as necessary. I’m active and love going on dog walks or cat sitting and look forward to taking care of your fur babies. Happy to provide references. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of more than one pet. I’m also flexible either morning or evening works good for me. I have a big fenced yard and two crates (size small and medium) if needed. I also have a friendly dog who can play and keep your fur baby company.

16. Nicholas L.

I am a genuine and loving caregiver as I also take care of my mother time to time. I am constantly active and on the go. This makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I am also looking for work in the winter. So I will be able available for future bookings. I live in an apartment with and opens backyard and a designated pet area. I live with one cat. I am currently unable to dog watch at home.
17. Emma I.
“so good for the first time! I can’t thank you enough.. it’s gonna take some time but as long as you feel safe with him, I would love to do this again. eventually it’s gonna be all tail wags when he sees you… at least that’s what I’m hoping for.”
18. Cassandra B.
“Cassandra was very communicative during Mauis walk. She went above and beyond with our girl! We had a lot on instructions and she follows them to a T. We will be using her again!”
19. Marissa S.
“I would highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter + walker. She took excellent care of my pup while I was away, following all of my instructions and going above and beyond to ensure that he was well-fed, exercised, and loved. Marissa was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, providing regular updates and photos (the highlight of my day!). She was also very observant of my dog's behavior and took the appropriate actions to ensure that he received the best possible care. I was particularly impressed by Marissa's attention to detail and her willingness to accommodate any special requests that I had. She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and treats each one as if they were her own. Overall, I could not have asked for a better pet sitter + walker than Marissa. She is trustworthy, reliable, and truly cares about the well-being of every doggo she takes care of! Thank you so much, Marissa, for providing such excellent service!”
20. Anna G.
“Anna has been a pet lover her whole life. She has grown up with three dogs but also really loves cats. She is kind and patient and loving. Anna’s the first to volunteer when someone needs help with their pet. She lives to walk them and play.”
